foxpro on xp

[astech]

my friend use foxpro 2.6 for dos.
if the application run in XP, it's error :'too many files open'.
i heard he had write files and buffer with '999' in config.sys. The application put on server win2000 advanced server
whats wrong ?.

XP like NT and 2000 don't use CONFIG.SYS for DOS based programs to set the FILES or BUFFERS numbers. Rather they use CONFIG.NT as the default OR you can set up your .LNK file in the Program (tab), Advanced... (button) to use a specific copy of this (and/or AUTOEXEC.NT) for this one application.

Note: Don't try to set FILES higher than 225, you'll just cause more problems.

HI astec,
Edit the "config.nt" under the system or system32 directory of your XP and set the FILES= line. This can be set to 225
FILES=225 and then saved. This will act as your earlier Config.sys file. ramani

Click Advanced Search above, and enter "divide by zero" (No quotes - just in my forums), and you'll get back a number of threads that will point you to the right links to solve this problem.

This is topic #3 under this thread:
1. Too Many Files Open
2. Divide By Zero error
3. Mouse won't work
It would be best to start a unique thread about your own problem rather than adding on to someone else's question and hoping that someone might find your question too.

Regardless, for the Mouse problem...

I am guessing that you are running a DOS application.
If so you are probably needing to load a DOS mouse driver to work with your application. Your old system most likely is loading a MOUSE driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT If that is so, then you might want to copy that driver into a directory on your XP machine and then edit your AUTOEXEC.NT file (metioned by Rick - rgbean) to load it for you prior to entering your application.

Good Luck,
